What have engineering leaders been planning for in 2022, and how might that change given the current economic uncertainty?
At my company, Jellyfish, we recently released a 2022 State of Engineering Management Report which shows engineering leaders were poised to invest heavily in people, processes, and technology for predicted growth this year. But with recent rumblings about economic uncertainty, it’s important for leaders to be prepared to alter their plans.
During periods of growth, engineering leaders are tasked with scaling their teams to meet increasing business demands. But current economic challenges might require leaders to manage a very different scenario instead: one where resources are scarce.
